Any input on the Janome 500e embroidery only machine
I'm looking for some input from anyone that has the new Janome 500e embroidery only machine - what you think of it. Have you had one of the older Janome embroidery machines and how do you compare them. I have a Janome 300e and like it but I do like a lot of the features on the 500 that I don't have - such as being able to hook it to the computer and/or use a flash drive, the cutter, cutting jump stitches and of course a buggy - the larger hoops. Would you ever consider buying online? Or only from a dealer - regardless of price? Do all dealers have to charge the same price?
I'd love to hear anything your have to say about them or anything you've heard about them - pros and cons. If you have one of the older ones, do you feel like you need the 500. Of course I understand if we had only the things we NEED, we wouldn't have much in our sewing rooms - LOL.
Thank you!
